Hello,

Are there any Christian men out there considering castration as a means of reducing unwanted same sex attraction?

Are there any who have done this?

I don't know why same sex sexual attraction would be unwanted. I desire all sexual attraction. Sex is wonderful.

Castration will reduce all sexual attraction, both hetero and homo - equally. You can't change your sexual orientation by castration. Forget it.

Saul,

I'm with Jeff where he says, "

Castration will reduce all sexual attraction, both hetero and homo - equally. You can't change your sexual orientation by castration.

"

I'm Christian, married, and was dealing with unwanted appetites for "paraphilias" (aka perversions). In addition to the perversions, I wanted to be a girl. Figuring my male libido had gone wacky, I got castrated in April 2005.

All sexual interest has vanished. Not just the perverted appetites but ordinary interest as well. Although my wife had lost interest due to menopause, she was starting to feel unattractive since I NEVER made advances anymore. Haven't masturbated for a year; no need, no desire.

But you know what? The desire to be a girl has remained undiminshed. And if anything, my sexual orientation has shifted a little toward men. Not talking arousal, just that I'd like the female role.

At least with castration, one can control desire. Some eunuchs take HRT a few days prior to lovemaking. After that, they can stop HRT and be done with desire until next time.

In case you are wondering, I felt the Lord enabling my castration. My always-full schedule at work opened up in a way never seen before -- two high-profile projects both got delayed by other causes for a month. Nor have I regretted castration; it's nice not having perverted appetites.

Surprisingly, you won't find any preachers interpreting Matt. 5:29-30 literally. They may interpret everything else literally, but not those verses. But Jesus meant them literally. Sometimes, it is best to cut off the testicles so that the "little head" doesn't take you in a direction you don't want to go.

May the Lord guide you through this tough area,

I am in full agreement with the above posts. Castration would be a very drastic step to take just to reduce a homosexual desire. I would recommend some counselling at this point. When I was a young man, I always wondered if I was Gay because most of my sexual experiences had been with males. After getting some counselling, I found that I was actually a heterosexual without much experience.

Castration would nullify all sexual desire. And please don't try a DIY operation, you will regret it.

We all are what we are - some are heterosexual and some folks are not. You need professional advice to help you figure out what you are and what you really want to be. Changing your sexual orientation is not a trivial process like changing the color of your socks.

All of the responses have correct. What you are feeling is ok and natural. Don't beat yourself up and make a life changing decision so quickly. There are people you can talk to confidentially about these things and there are great people here on the board you can talk to about how you're feeling.

I don't think anyone here on the board hasn't gone through what you are experiencing.

Please don't do anything drastic. Take your time to work things out and talk to the people on the board.

Hello Jeff, Bryan, Kangan & Taylor (Sounds like a firm of lawyers! LOL)

Thank you for your replies. I am not going to do anything drastic in the immediate future - thank you for your concern.

My mail if for two reasons. For myself and for the rights of other men who have excessive and (for them) inappropriate sex drives. I have changed my profile a little to reflect this.

I feel that castration is a right for those men who really want to go for it. It should be more widely available - after appropriate time and coulseling of course.

Men who want to become women seems te be acceptable these days. (And so it should be). Testicular and penile castration with cosmetic reconstruction, sylicone bags stuffed up the armpits, a blonde wig, new name like Monique and off you go. (LOL no disrespect to transexuals) But men who want castration for more suptle reasons to reduce sexdrive to live a celibate life for example as men - that remains schoking.

I'm glad I've found this message board!

Hi,

I am a Christian looking forward to being a eunuch. What ever your reasons for wanting castration are the Bible is solidly in favor of castration.

In Isaiah 56:4 God says To the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths,who choose what pleases me and hold fast to my covenant- to them I will give ...a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters...an everlasting name that will not be cut off.

Jesus said, In Matthew 19:12 For some are eunuchs because they were born that way, others were made that way by men; ....The one who can accept this should accept it.

And in Acts 8:27 an angel sent Phillip to meet the Ethiopian eunuch on a desert road. This scripture is a little long but it says in summary that the Ethiopian eunuch asks to be become a Christian, and Phillip baptizes him

What I read in these scriptures is that God accepts seeks and loves EUNUCHS as well as anyone.

thankyou:

SteveA,

Speaking of the Ethiopian eunuch, makes you wonder why Scripture brings out the fact the person was a eunuch. Was there something distinctive in appearance? To underscore his high rank in Candace's court? My guess is it signifies a warm welcome to eunuchs in the new Kingdom.

As a Christian, yes, very much part of my decision to want to be a Eunuch was my unwanted sexual attration to other homosexuals. It is very hard to interweave being a Christian and being homosexual. The church makes it so hard for you then. I know I need the support of other Eunuchs everyday. I am so thankful for Eunuch Archive's support.

Do you think God really cares whom you love? Isn't loving more important than the sex of the one you love? If God hates homosexuals, why did he make so many of them?

Don't cut off your balls because you're afraid of loving. Even if it's just sex you want, there's nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't hurt someone.

If you believe in a God that hates you because you're homosexual, maybe your belief in that God is what needs changing. Get yourself a different God. That one's an asshole.

You're inseperable from God. He can't hate you, because you're part of him. It's your belief -- your view of God -- that needs to be changed; re-examine it; don't cut off your balls.
